MEMBERS  NOT  ALUMNI  OF  THE  COLLEGE. 


The  list  is  arranged  according  to  the  year  of  election  to  member- 
ship. George  Edmond  Pierce,  President  of  the  College,  and  Profess- 
ors Barrows,  Day,  Nooney,  Seymour  and  St.  John  constituted  the 
original  committee  of  organization  to  which  the  charter  was  granted. 
Professors  Bartlett  and  Long,  whose  names  come  next  in  order,  also 
assisted  in  the  organization  of  the  chapter.  It  will  be  seen  that  the 
members  mentioned  in  the  list  were  for  the  most  part  elected  in  the 
early  years  of  the  chapter's  history.  In  the  records  the  term  "honorary 
member"  is  not  applied  to  them,  except  to  a  small  number  of  those 
last  elected.  They  frequently  held  office,  and  a  few  of  them  who 
were  connected  with  the  college  in  positions  lower  than  that  of  pro- 
fessor,t  were  expected  to  perform  all  the  duties  of  regular  members. 
Some  were  already  members  of  other  Alphas  at  the  time  of  their 
election.  Owing  to  defects  in  the  records,  the  list  is  probably  not 
quite  complete,  nor  can  the  full  names  be  learned  in  all  cases.

etc.,  according  to  the  order  of  their  formation.  The  chapter  of 
Western  Reserve  College,  now  Adelbert  College  of  Western  Reserve 
University,  was  thus  the  seventh  Alpha  organized  after  the  formation 
of  the  parent  chapter.  Its  organization  was  authorized  by  the  follow- 
ing charter,  granted  in  1 847  by  the  Alpha  of  Connecticut : 

* 'Whereas  the  society  of  $  B  K  by  selecting  the  best  and  most 
promising  scholars  of  good  moral  character  in  the  principal  colleges, 
and  uniting  them  in  one  great  fraternity  of  scientific  and  literary  men, 
has  been  found  not  only  profitable  to  the  members  of  said  society, 
but  also  conducive  to  the  advancement  of  sound  learning  in  our  coun- 
try ;  and  whereas  the  President  and  Professors  of  the  Western  Reserve 
College  at  Hudson,  in  the  state  of  Ohio,  being  desirous  to  secure  to 
that  college  the  great  advantage  of  this  institution,  did,  on  the  second 
day  of  December,  1841,  prefer  a  petition  to  the  Alpha  of  Connecticut, 
that  a  branch  of  this  society  might  be  established  in  the  said  Western 
Reserve  College,  and  thereupon  the  Alpha  of  Connecticut  instituted 
careful  inquiry  into  the  character  and  prospects  of  that  college,  and 
after  mature  deliberation  did,  at  their  general  meeting,  on  the  18th 
day  of  August,  1842,  assent  to  the  above  mentioned  request,  provided 
the  approbation  and  consent  of  the  other  Alphas  should  first  be 
obtained;  and  whereas  the  Alpha  of  Connecticut  on  learning  that 
such  consent  and  approbation  had  been  obtained  from  each  and  all  the 
other  Alphas,  did,  at  their  general  meeting  on  the  day  before  the 
Commencement  at  Yale  College,  A.  D.  1847,  invest  us  the  under- 
signed with  authority  to  give  and  convey  to  the  said  petitioners,  being 
members  of  this  Alpha,  the  requisite  power  and  authority  to  create 
and  organize  a  distinct  branch  of  the  $  B  K  in  said  Western  Reserve 
College,  under  the  name  and  title  of  the  Alpha  of  Ohio. 

Now  therefore,  know  all  men  by  these  presents,  that  our  trusty 
and  beloved  brothers  George  E.  Pierce  S.  T.  D.,  President  of  the 
Western  Reserve  College,  and  his  associates.  Professors  in  the  said 
college,  Elijah  P.  Barrows,  A.  M.,  Henry  N.  Day,  A.  M.,  Samuel 
St.  John,  A.  M.,  Nathan  P.  Seymour,  A.  M.,  and  James  Nooney, 


ALPHA  OF  OHIO  21 

A.  M.,  or  the  major  part  of  them,  have  and  possess  full  power  to 
create  and  organize  a  branch  of  the  society  of  $  B  K  in  the  Western 
Reserve  College  at  Hudson,  in  the  state  of  Ohio,  which  branch  of 
said  society  shall  be  known  by  the  name  and  style  of  the  Alpha  of 
Ohio,  and  shall  possess  and  enjoy  the  power,  privileges  and  preroga- 
tives of  a  sister  Alpha  of  the  $  B  K,  provided  that  it  be  founded  upon 
and  faithfully  adhere  to,  the  great  and  fundamental  principles  of  said 
society. 

And  that  the  said  Alpha  of  Ohio  may  be  the  more  effectually 
guarded  against  any  and  every  departure  from  the  fundamental  prin- 
ciples of  the  <l>  B  K  society,  the  following  brief  statement  of  those 
principles  is  here  subjoined: 

I.  No  undergraduates  shall  be  admitted  into  the  society  until 
they  shall  have  attained  the  rank  of  Junior  Sophisters,  and  so  long  as 
they  remain  undergraduates  no  more  than  one-thirdf  part  of  any 
college  class,  and  only  those  the  most  distinguished  for  genius,  char- 
acter and  good  scholarship,  shall  be  admitted  into  the  society. 

n.  All  elections  of  new  members  shall  be  by  scrutiny  of  silent 
ballots  and  that  a  single  negative  vote,  if  not  withdrawn,  shall  prevent 
election. 

HI.  The  members  of  each  and  all  branches  of  the  society  con- 
stitute one  literary  fraternity,  and  all  are  pledged  to  treat  each  other 
with  kindness  and  courtesy  and  to  be  faithful  to  the  interests  of  the 
society. 

IV.  The  branch  of  the  society  first  established  in  any  state  is 
to  be  called  the  Alpha  of  that  state,  and  it  has  power,  with  the  con- 
sent of  the  other  Alphas,  to  establish  other  branches  of  the  society 
within  the  bounds  of  said  state,  to  be  called  the  Beta,  Gamma,  Delta, 
etc.,  of  the  same  state.* 

t  See  Laws,  Art.  9,  p.  30. 


22  PHI  BETA  KAPPA 

V.  Each  branch  of  the  society  is  to  have  the  same  devices  on  its 
medal,^  the  same  badge  of  membership,  the  same  tokens  of  recog- 
nition,^  etc. 

VI.  Each  branch  of  the  society,  while  bound  by  these  principles, 
has  full  power  to  frame  its  own  constitution  and  by-laws  for  the 
regulation  of  its  meetings,  its  exercises,  its  forms  of  election  and 
initiation,  its  choice  of  officers,  its  financial  concerns  and  all  its  internal 
affairs,  according  to  its  own  pleasure. 

In  the  name  and  by  the  authority  of  the  Connecticut  Alpha  of 
the  4>  B  K,  we  hereunto  affix  our  names,  at  New  Haven,  this  nine- 
teenth day  of  October,  Anno  Domini  one  thousand  eight  hundred 
and  forty-seven.

ing the  anti-Masonic  agitation  of  the  last  century  secrecy  and  secret 
symbols  were  abandoned. 

3.  The  medal  of  the  fraternity  is  a  gold  key  bearing  on  one 
side  the  letters  ^  B  K  and  a  hand  pointing  to  a  group  of  stars,  now 
seven  in  most  chapters.  What  the  number  of  stars  originally  signified 
has  become  a  matter  of  dispute  and  uncertainty.  In  1897  the  Alpha 
of  Ohio  adopted  the  following  resolution :  "That  the  number  of  stars 
on  the  key,  the  badge  of  the  society,  be  seven  for  this  chapter,  to  ex- 
press the  fact  that  this  Alpha  is  the  seventh  in  order  of  establishment, 
counting  from  the  parent  society."  On  the  opposite  side  of  the  key 
appear  the  letters  S.  P.,  the  significance  of  which  is  now  disputed. 
"Societas  Philosophiae"  is  the  interpretation  given  by  the  William  and 
Mary  chapter. 

4.  By  virtue  of  the  authority  delegated  to  it  in  its  charter,  the 
chapter  established  a  Beta  at  Kenyon  in  1858  and  a  Gamma  at 
Marietta  in  i860.  In  1883  the  fraternity  was  reorganized  and  a 
closer  association  of  existing  chapters  was  formed,  called  the  United 
Chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  which  is  governed  by  a  National  Council 
of  delegates  from  the  chapters  and  by  a  Senate  of  twenty  members 
chosen  by  the  Council.  A  meeting  of  the  Council  is  held  every  three 
years,  the  last  one  having  taken  place  in  1904.  Power  to  grant  new 
charters  is  now  vested  in  the  Council,  which  has  established  in  Ohio 
a  Delta  chapter  at  the  University  of  Cincinnati    (1898)    and  an 


ALPHA  OF  OHIO  33 

Epsilon  chapter  at  the  Ohio  State  University  (1904).     The  Alpha 
of  Ohio  became  a  member  of  the  United  Chapters  in  1894. 

5.  For  some  time  the  annual  meeting  of  the  chapter  has  been 
held  on  the  afternoon  of  Commencement  day  and  has  been  the  only 
meeting  of  the  year. 

6.  Elections  of  all  officers,  and  elections  and  initiations  of  new 
members  now  take  place  at  the  annual  meeting.  As  officers  the  chapter 
now  elects  a  President,  Vice-President,  and  Secretary-Treasurer.  To 
the  last  named  are  assigned  the  duties  of  Corresponding  Secretary, 
Register,  Treasurer,  Assistant  Treasurer  and  Recording  Secretary.* 
Nominations  for  these  offices  are  made  by  a  nominating  committee 
appointed  from  among  the  members  present  at  the  annual  meeting 
by  the  presiding  officer  of  that  meeting.**  Newly  elected  members  are 
introduced  to  the  chapter  at  its  annual  meeting  by  some  member  dele- 
gated for  that  duty  by  the  presiding  officer. 

8.  In  1848  the  chapter  voted  that  its  members  should  wear 
badges  of  green  ribbon  on  the  occasion  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  oration, 
which  was  then  an  annual  Commencement  event.  Such  a  badge  is 
therefore  a  distinctive  token  of  membership  in  the  Alpha  of  Ohio.
